Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
½ cup water
1 cup refried beans
1 cup cooked Mexican rice
1 ½ cups red enchilada sauce
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
For Serving (Optional):
Sour cream
Extra enchilada sauce
Salsa or pico de gallo
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven.
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all four burritos snugly.
2. Cook the beef.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with your spoon as it sizzles. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat.
3. Season the filling.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until you can smell it. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir well and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes, until thick and flavorful. The mixture should be juicy but not watery.
4. Warm the beans and tortillas.
Heat the refried beans slightly so they’re easy to spread. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20–30 seconds — this keeps them soft and prevents tearing when rolling.
5. Assemble the burritos.
Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a layer of refried beans down the center. Spoon seasoned beef on top, then add a scoop of Mexican rice. Sprinkle a little cheddar and Monterey Jack inside.
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. Add sauce and cheese.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, making sure they’re nicely coated. Sprinkle the remaining cheese generously over the top.
7. Bake until bubbly.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes. The cheese should be melted, bubbly, and just starting to turn golden around the edges.
8. Garnish and serve.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Let them sit for a few minutes before serving — they’ll hold together better and be easier to plate.

Presentation
Serve each burrito on a plate with an extra spoonful of warm enchilada sauce drizzled over the top. Add a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa or pico de gallo, and maybe a little extra sprinkle of cilantro for color.
For a full “supreme” experience, pair it with extra rice and refried beans on the side. A wedge of lime on the plate adds a bright pop of freshness. If you’re hosting, bring the whole baking dish straight to the table — that bubbling cheese layer is always a showstopper.
